³⁶ As it is written,

³¹ I die every day! That is as certain, brothers and sisters, as my boasting of you—a boast that I make in Christ Jesus our Lord.^(A)

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? I am talking like a madman—I am a better one: with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless floggings, and often near death.^(A)

³³ sometimes being publicly exposed to insults and afflictions and sometimes becoming partners with those so treated.^(A)
